I have had my mind set on buying a VS200 for the past year or so. Saved up the money but Ive recently read alot of situations where the case starts to leak oil .

Is this something that happens to the pre-zebco reels?
Do I need to keep the warranty valid and send it back each year? Is it worth investing the $50+ year?

Any other reel suggestions? First hand experiences?

Any information would be appreciated.... Relative newbie here to the site
My 200 leaked, but was repaired under warranty by vanstaal. They replaced the older, red fluid with a less viscous type lube. No problems since. If you want my input, check out the saltiga z4500 for a spinning reel. Very happy with mine, so much so that I bought another. Same price range as a VS 200.

It's not the bait

It's the fishing hole
